The Alchemy of Paradise

Praise for The Alchemy of Paradise: “A luminous novel told in snippets, The Alchemy of Paradise considers how best to live in the face of loss. […] Metaphysical and insightful, The Alchemy of Paradise is an innovative novel.”—Carolyn Wilson-Scott, Foreword Reviews Praise for Susannah M. Smith: “The Fairy Tale Museum has more in common with installation art than with any traditional literary genres… [this book is] an exercise in encouraging creativity.”—Rain Taxi “The Fairy Tale Museum is a beautifully written book of short prose invites the reader to relax and explore the curated ‘collections’ of pieces. It is a book you can, like a museum, come back to again and again and discover something new each time.”—Prairie Fire Review of Books “I am easily enchanted by fiction that plays with form and subverts traditional storytelling. That’s why I loved The Fairy Tale Museum… Susannah M. Smith’s writing is poetic and hypnotic and this book was a lovely ode to imagination.”—Augur “A dream within a dream within a book. A wonderland-like journey through magic and imagination. I’m running out of ways to describe this book, in part because it defies description. If you like dark fairy tales, you’ll probably like this.”—McNally Robinson Staff Pick “In The Fairy Tale Museum, Susannah M. Smith has crafted a world as seemingly scenic and romantic as a snow globe—except this world can break, it can draw blood, and it can transform. This is a beautiful book, its beauty only deepened by its bite.”—Derek McCormack “In Susannah M. Smith’s fantastical, moody folkloric menagerie, you can wander slowly and savour, or leap randomly between surprising exhibits. Part Brothers Grimm and part Doktor Bey, part novel and part poem, The Fairy Tale Museum is a moving, exquisite sensory experience. This is an exciting book.”—Stuart Ross

I newyorkesi

New York! New York! Al riparo dal traffico e dal trambusto cittadino dell'Upper West Side c'è un piccolo quartiere tranquillo vicino a Central Park dove, tra gli altri, abitano alcuni proprietari di cani. Vivere in un posto come questo, con un cane al guinzaglio, è come vivere in un piccolo villaggio. Persone spesso sole, riservate, talvolta un po' eccentriche, persone che mai si sarebbero incontrate altrimenti, si conoscono, stringono amicizia o si innamorano, a volte si lasciano. Succede anche a Jody, signora quasi quarantenne, di conoscere l'amore grazie al suo cane, un grosso pit bull femmina di nome Beatrice che lei adora. Perché i cani fungono da veri e propri cupidi, obbligando i loro padroni a legare con altri esseri umani, a superare timidezze e inibizioni in un lieve e romantico minuetto.
